1 Financial Inclusion Strategies: Global Trends and Lessons Learnt from the AFI Network Istanbul, Turkey June 3, 2014 Klaus Prochaska Senior Policy Analyst & Knowledge Manager Alliance for Financial Inclusion(AFI) 1
2 AFI Concept design Building the Network Activating the Network Enhancing Network Value Policy-Driving Network 118 Institutions, 94 countries (more than 85% of the world s unbanked) Unique Peer Learning Network (working groups, GPF, regional initiatives) 7 policy areas More than 53 tangible policy changes 63 demand driven policy grants Shaping global discussions (G20, G24, SSBs) Platform for public private dialogues Maya Declaration, 47 concrete commitments and progress tracking with more to come
3 PURPOSE OF THE FISPLG To develop a platform for members of AFI to promote the development and implementation of national financial inclusion strategies. To support countries that have made commitments under the Maya Declaration and to the G20 Peer Learning Program to develop national financial inclusion strategies. National coordination and leadership Effective public-private partnership for Financial Inclusion Strategies Sequencing issues of financial inclusion, financial education, financial literacy and financial consumer protection strategies Data for financial inclusion strategies including diagnostic exercises and target setting Identification of key challenges and barriers to strategy development and implementation achieved through peer learning on key topics FIS PEEER LEARNING GROUP Launched in Abuja, Nigeria, October 2012 Priority Topics 3

5 Global Trend #1 There is a growing consensus amongst financial policymakers globally that Financial Inclusion strategies are needed Poll at AFI Global Policy Forum (GPF) in 2011 highlighted that 96% of policymakers considered a national strategy essential but only 25% actually had one in place According to survey of AFI members, 20 countries in the Network have now published Financial Inclusion strategies (8 in Asia- Pacific, 9 in Africa, 3 in Latin America. At least 18 more countries are at various stages of the formulation process. Key drivers have been the Maya Declaration (2011) and the G20, especially under Mexico s 2012 Presidency. Other factors underlying growing focus on strategies include: recognition of complexity of financial inclusion requiring a common vision & framework; improved quality of data available to policymakers; and peer pressure! 5
6 Global Trend #2 The Driver for National Strategies is National Commitments 21 countries have made National Strategy commitments under the Maya Declaration Seven from Africa: Burundi, Congo, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Uganda, and Rwanda Eight from Asian-Pacific: Indonesia, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Fiji, Solomon Islands, Samoa, and Vanuatu Six from Latin America: Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Mexico, and Paraguay, and Trinidad and Tobago 6 6
7 Maya Declaration The first global and measurable set of commitments on financial inclusion by developing and emerging countries Country commitments (Maya Declaration on Financial Inclusion) Concrete and measurable individual commitments based on national circumstances Financial Inclusion strategy / action plan Key components of Maya Declaration Evidence-based data Enabling environment/ Technology Proportionate regulatory framework Consumer protection and empowerment Supporting G20 Principles Knowledge Leadership Cooperation Diversity Innovation Proportionality Framework Protection Empowerment Partners World Bank Group: Financing / TA, Data, etc. DFIs: Investment, TA AFI : Peer learning, Working groups Progress review, Support services Knowledge providers: CGAP, Research institutions Private sector Donors GPFI Others
8 Global Trend #3 There is a growing and striking convergence over the last two years towards standalone financial inclusion strategies There have been traditionally two dominant approaches in practice: 1. Use of broader financial sector strategy to address financial inclusion (Sierra Leone; Namibia; Mozambique; Nepal) 2. Use of stand-alone FIS (Fiji; Indonesia; Thailand; Tanzania; Burundi; Nigeria; Malawi) Now a clear trend in favor of stand-alone modality The trend reflects the influence of Maya Declaration Countries already having National Microfinance Strategies are working to broaden them (Pakistan, Philippines) 8 8
9 . Financial Inclusion Strategy Stages (a) Data Collection and Diagnostic Activities: Collection of supply-side data Collection of demand-side data Data Analysis (b) Strategy Formulation Agreement of definition and vision for financial inclusion Consultation with public & private sector stakeholders Development of action plan and targets (d) Monitoring & Evaluation Tracking progress against core indicators Identifying if strategy is on track and any responses needed Effective strategy formulation & implementation involves a continuous feedback cycle (c) Strategy Implementation Policy Reforms Private Sector Response Establishment of architecture for implementation (e.g. National Council or Taskforce)
10 Global Trend #4 In most regions of the world, central banks are taking a leadership role in financial inclusion strategies Central Banks are well positioned to take leadership and coordination role to help maximize efforts, overcome barriers, and steer activities towards shared goals AFI Pacific Islands Working Group In the majority of cases the Central Bank has taken the leadership role in the Financial Inclusion Strategy 85% of cases in Asia-Pacific, 70% of cases in Africa and 33% in Latin America In other cases Ministries of Finance have taken the lead (Malawi, Rwanda and Swaziland in Africa, Indonesia and Thailand in Asia) Which institution may be less important than the characteristics strong convening power, credibility amongst public and private sector stakeholders, and sufficient resources (esp. human resources) 10 10
11 Global Trend #5 The policy content with financial inclusion strategies differs but all are embracing technology and innovation Developments in technology have transformed financial services delivery from the traditional physical infrastructure to a system supplemented by other innovative channels Bank of Uganda, Status of Financial Inclusion in Uganda (March 2014)
12 Global Trend #6 Countries are utilizing peer learning and knowledge exchange in order to build their national strategies Different countries are at different stages in the continuum of strategy development and implementation. Hence, opportunities for knowledge intermediation There is tremendous diversity in country approaches. This is fertile ground for peer learning. Peer Learning culture is now well-developed and established through AFI s exchange visit programs. The demand for peer learning on national financial inclusion strategies is strong and growing
13 Global Trend #7 Many countries are now including a focus on access to finance for SMEs within their financial inclusion strategies Around 200 million formal and informal, micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in developing economies lack access to credit. Estimated 55-68% of formal SMEs lack adequate financing. Additional challenges are inefficient payment options, lack of risk management products and shortage of growth capital. Women-owned SMEs have consistently lower access to finance worldwide. Source: Financial Inclusion Targets & Goals: Landscape & GPFI View (G20 GPFI) 13 13
14 Lessons Learnt from FISPLG experience Lesson Learnt #1: The highest level leadership and political commitment is needed to successfully formulate and implement a Financial Inclusion Strategy Example: Mexico s National Council Strong leadership is always the foundation behind the development of a national vision and strategy for financial inclusion and this leadership empowers policymakers to be innovative and to take reasonable risks to create a more inclusive financial sector AFI, 2010
15 Lessons Learnt from FISPLG experience Lesson Learnt #2: Trusted, nationally collected data and clearly defined indicators are needed Without good data it is impossible to define indicators to build a proper financial inclusion agenda for the country Elvira Cruvinel, Head of Financial Inclusion Team, Central Bank of Brazil AFI Data Working Group has defined core indicators for Access and Usage Second-Tier indicators covering Quality (Literacy and Consumer Protection), Mobile Financial Services, SME Finance Working Group constructing a Catalogue of all indicators being collected by AFI members 15 15
16 Lessons Learnt from FISPLG experience Lesson Learnt #3: The definition of and vision for financial inclusion, as well as any targets included in the financial inclusion strategy need clarity and a wide acceptance Bank of Tanzania Definition of Financial Inclusion: Financial Inclusion for Tanzania entails the regular use of financial services, through payment infrastructures to manage cash flows and mitigate shocks, which are delivered by formal providers through a range of appropriate services with dignity and fairness Government of Indonesia Vision for Financial Inclusion: To achieve a financial system that is accessible by all layers of the community to promote economic growth, poverty reduction and income inequality in Indonesia National Target, Central Bank of Nigeria To increase the no. of Nigerians in the formal financial sector from 30% in 2010 to 70% in
17 Lessons Learnt from FISPLG experience Lesson Learnt #4: National Coordination is a critical challenge that needs to be overcome Countries are establishing multi-agency Financial Inclusion Taskforces, National Councils and Steering Committees in order to oversee their financial inclusion strategies. Tanzania s coordination structure is three tiers with a National Council, a National Steering Committee, and a National Technical Committee. Other models have explicitly included private sector e.g. the united Kingdom Financial Inclusion Taskforce. Private sector needs to be part of the dialogue and action plan
18 Lessons Learnt from FISPLG experience Lesson Learnt #5: Supply-Side and Demand-Side measures need to be pursued in parallel Expanding access through new technologies raises new risks in terms of consumer protection and financial education that need to be addressed Financial education and consumer protection are essential components of FIS in many countries. There is now a tendency to formulate stand-alone national strategies for financial education and literacy in an increasing number of countries (Malawi, Rwanda, Zambia under Maya Declaration). Some countries had stand-alone national strategies for financial education before financial inclusion strategies (Brazil, India, Ghana) 18
19 Lessons Learnt from FISPLG experience Lesson Learnt #6: Policymakers need to pursue a proportionate application of global standards While global standards are sufficient to allow proportionate application, they not originally established with financial inclusion as a consideration; which can lead countries to adopt conservative approaches that limit innovation - Governor Amando Tetangco Jr, Central Bank of the Philippines 19 19
20 Lessons Learnt from FISPLG experience Lesson Learnt #7: Prioritize, Prioritize, Prioritize Risk that desire for comprehensive strategies can lead to overoptimization or failure to adequately prioritize Critical for policymakers to distinguish critical actions and take difficult decisions on where to allocation resources The best examples of national financial inclusion strategies are clear, accessible for all stakeholders and focused 20 20
